In this video, our decrepit 2004 Impala, Fred has died in the driveway in the dead of winter, and is in need of a fuel pump transplant. The fuel pump had been intermittent in the days prior, only working when the weather was slightly warmer. I was able to diagnose the fuel pump as being the culprit by having someone crank the engine over whilst I sprayed starting fluid into the exposed throttle body. By getting it to start on the starting fluid (and it immediately dying afterward) there was simply no need to hook up a fuel pressure gauge or spark tester. Kind of bass-ackward detective work, but the behavior of the vehicle in the days prior raised my hackles. • So you fine YouTubers get to watch as I pop open the access hatch (thank Christ for that innovation !) and replace the entire fuel pump module without dropping the gas tank. • I purchased the fuel pump from Amazon, foregoing a mega-expensive Delphi unit and instead going with the highest rated pump that was reasonably priced. This is a deal where I'm only looking to get a few years out of the pump, as the car is getting rusty and racking up the miles. • Fuel Pump from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/TOPSCOPE-FP354... • I also replaced the Fuel Pressure Regulator and the Fuel Filter at the same time, however the replacement of those 2 items will be in the next video. • 2000-2005 Impala (8th Gen) 3400 Fuel ... • It has been brought to my attention by several commenters that 2005 model Impalas do not have the access hatch present inside the trunk. I have not been able to confirm yet if this was for all 2005 models, or if there was a specific date range or model availability. I have thusly changed the title of the video to reflect that this should apply to the 2000 through 2004 model years. • • Thanks for watching! Any questions or comments, please post below.
